• Note 1: On Day 1, the contestants were divided in two teams: the 'Buriños' (Hicks) and the 'Rafinados' (Refined). The two teams faced off in a challenge where the winning team would win Immunity. The losing team would vote first, and the most voted contestant would end up facing public vote. Later, the winning team would vote among the other members of the losing team (not including the one already nominated), adding another person to the public vote.
• Note 2: On Day 4, the losing team would vote first in secret, later the winning team would vote in public. Both the losing and winning team had to nominate someone from the losing team, not including the contestants that joined the competition on Day 4. The sum of the votes of the two teams would determine the contestants up for elimination. Additionally, due to an injury, Roberto was momentarily absent as he was receiving medical care, therefore he was exempt from nominations.
• Note 3: On Day 8, there was a challenge that determined a team switch. The two teams had to indicate the strongest contestant from the opposing team: the two would become the 'reward' of the challenge, joining the winning team. Before receiving the strongest contestant from the other team, however, the winning team would have to point out their weakest link through a saving chain, starting from their own strongest contestant. The person remaining and not saved with the chain would go to the losing team, as a sort of exchange to make teams even numbered. Gilles (Buriños) and Brando (Rafinados) were indicated as the strongest contestants, so Brando joined the winning team, while Daniela was indicated as the weakest link and joined the losing team. The newly reformed teams later competed for another immunity challenge.
• Note 4: On Day 11, Andrea entered the competition and there was a challenge to determine which team he would be on: Valentina and Francesca won the challenge for the 'Buriños'. Later, Andrea and Roberto faced off in the immunity challenge. Roberto won immunity for his team, and had to start a saving chain to determine the first nominated contestant from the losing team, excluding Andrea who had just arrived. The chain went: Roberto → Beppe → Valentina → Francesca → Gilles → Awed. Vera was left out and was automatically nominated. Additionally, due to an injury, Paul was momentarily absent as he was receiving medical care, therefore he was exempt from nominations.
• Note 5: On Day 18, Brando, Fariba, Vera and Ubaldo were all living on Parasite Island. Fariba and Ubaldo, as they had started the game there as potential contestants, were ultimately deemed ready to officially enter the game, while Brando and Vera, who had started the game as official contestants but had been eliminated in a public vote, had to face off in a nomination where only one of them would be voted back into the game. The loser would go to another Island, Playa Esperanza.
• Note 6: On Day 32, out of the 3 nominated contestants, only one would be saved by the public vote, while the other 2 would have their fate decided by the Leader of the episode. Andrea had to decide who to save between Fariba and Roberto, making the other the first nominated contestant of the week. He saved Roberto.
• Note 7: On Day 43, the contestants were divided in 2 teams. Two leaders were elected, one for each team, and the members could only vote for someone of their own team. The two teams were: 1) Awed, Emanuela, Fariba, Isolde, Manuela, Matteo, Roberto and Rosaria VS 2) Andrea, Angela, Francesca, Gilles, Miryea, Ubaldo, Valentina and Vera. Four contestants would be facing nomination: the two most voted contestants by each team and the two contestants named by the leader of each team. Of the four, only one would be saved the public vote, while the other 3 would have their fate in the hands of the leader of Day 46. The leader would decide which of the 3 would be eliminated.
• Note 8: On Day 46, there was a saving chain to determine one of the nominees. The chain went Fariba → Matteo → Awed → Isolde → Roberto → Emanuela. Rosaria was left out and became the first nominee. Subsequently, both teams had to once again nominate someone from their own team.
• Note 9: On Day 57, the outgoing leader (Isolde) had to choose 3 people from her team to be in danger of nomination. She chose Awed, Roberto and Valentina. In return, each one had to choose one person to face off in a challenge, with the loser becoming automatically nominated. The teams were merged and therefore they could choose anyone. Awed chose Emanuela and won, Valentina chose Rosaria and won, Roberto chose Fariba and, since they both had a record-breaking performance, neither was nominated.
• Note 10: On Day 61, four people were facing public vote (Emanuela, Roberto, Rosaria and Valentina). Out of them, one was saved by the public vote (Valentina) and had to challenge the outgoing leader (Isolde). Isolde won, and she had to choose one of the other three people who had not been saved: this person would face off one of the other two in a new public vote resulting in an elimination. Later, the four remaining men (not including Roberto) competed to become the second leader of the night. Ignazio won and had to choose who to nominate between Roberto and Rosaria. He chose Roberto. Therefore, Emanuela and Roberto were nominated. Additionally, the two leaders had to compete in a challenge which would determine the leader of the weekly nomination. The loser would lose immunity and be nominated.
• Note 11: On Day 64, multiple challenges were done to determine which contestants would win immunity. Four people won: Angela, Awed, Matteo and Valentina. These four had to decide which of them would face off against Isolde, the outgoing leader, to steal her immunity. This final challenge was done after the nominations, and therefore Isolde was not eligible to be nominated by the Tribe. However, since Awed ended up winning - stealing Isolde's immunity - she became eligible to be nominated by the Leader. Furthermore, before the nominations and the challenges, Fariba was nominated by production for revealing the existence ofPlaya Imboscadissima to some of the other contestants.
